If You Also Sneakily Watched MTV's Loveline at Middle School Sleepovers, You'll Appreciate This

Raise your hand if you remember Loveline. (Raise both if, like me, you saw it strictly at sleepovers.) God, what was that show?

Looking back at clips as a full-grown adult, I see it for what it aimed for--bawdy, salacious, occasionally informative. But as a preteen, I found it utterly insane and confusing--and I guarantee if you click the clip below, you'll feel the same.

If you watched the show, it'll be a nostalgic, oh yeah! I was totally clueless and this didn't help a bit! type bewilderment. And if you've never seen it, I'm sure you were cracking up by the time you saw the call-in number on the screen. (Later, after I take my hip medicine, I'll teach you who Tori Amos is.)

But yeah--that little gem gave you the always-available-for-comment Dr. Drew. And not much else. That's not the case when it comes to sex ed on MTV today--that is, as of last night, when Dan Savage's Savage U premiered. I was immediately hooked--and impressed--by Savage's sage, witty advice to college students with relationship and body queries. He's one part informed genius, one part experienced buddy, and one part coolest uncle ever. Just watch:
